100 Wine Blogs, 100 Days Blog 36 Tasting Xplorador Wine Part 2
Blog 36: Tasting Xplorador Wine Part 2 with the 3 Wine Girls Alma, Veronica & Lindsay
The 3 Wine Girls ventured out to talk about Xplorador wines. We tasted a Malbec from Argentina, and a Carmenere and a Merlot from Chile. In the Xplorador Wine video Part 1, the 3 Wine Girls gave the Malbec a 3 thumbs up and Veronica rated it with 92 points on her rating scale for tastability. We also gave it five stars and five diamonds for whichever rating scale you go by. Lindsay stated that she likes diamonds.
3 out of 3 Wine Girls recommend Xplorador Malbec!
The 3 Wine Girls then tried the Merlot which had a deep, red color to it. The aromas noted were earthy (good earthy), soil, green pepper, rose, spicy and a vegetal smell. The taste had a kick to it with soft tannins, but was not as smooth as the Malbec.
The 3 Wine Girls went on to taste the Carmenere. The color of crimson. The aromas noted were soil and earth, but not as earthy as the Merlot, some spice, cherry and vanilla. The finish lingers in your mouth pleasantly. Lindsay also smelled a soapy (good soapy) smell to it and Gardenias. Veronica felt it was velvety in the mouth with a silky feeling. Alma felt the Malbec had a silkier feel to it. We then tasted some plums and chocolate on the finish.
Carmenere was fantastic. It had a big color and a big taste. It might end up climbing like the Malbec did as it becomes known again throughout the world.
Xplorador makes affordable wines that produce results! We clapped and we liked it!
Veronica wanted to know where Tito (the winemaker) was. She then spoke some Spanish. She wanted Tito’s autograph for making some incredible in-demand wines. You can purchase all three wines for under $20 and have something that you want to serve to your company. Veronica gave the Merlot 89 points and the Carmenere 92 points on her point scale. The Carmenere is a gem and can’t be produced by many others. Alma gave the Malbec and the Carmenere 95 points on her point scale.
Xplorador is one of the best values in wine right now! The 3 Wine Girls felt that the quality in the making of these wines was just perfect.
3 out of 3 Wine Girls recommend it.
Xplorador is Wine Girl approved!
Tell me your thoughts, make them funny, keep them nice and educate me.
Bon Vin!
Veronica
